I got two sets of the same brand, not sold by nasty though and had problems with both the fabricated and the CNC milled ones.

I have decided to go with valve covers that have oil squirter's in them. They are more expensive but help the valve train last longer and keep them cooler. Are any of you guys using them. I found some cool ones at drysump.com

Thanks for all your input.

A Bear has some really cool ones they did for Nine Ball that have the coils hidden in a special built cover inside the valve covers. They look really cool.

Love the Abear Motorsports covers, (see post #4) but those boys are proud of them. But I guess they aren't any more than the Katech's and you don't have to order any coil relocation brackets.

That is what I did. Makes for a cleaner looking engine!

Nice Truck. Should be a real show stopper when finished.

Look at the valve covers off of Dale JR's Camaro from Detroit Speeds shop.I saw these in person and they are very nice.They look like the old Camaro & Corvette SBC valve covers

I have a new set of Scooters that I put on my Ls7 with brackets that I will sell for $100.00 less than cost. Used them only for the initial dyno run. Same ones mentioned above. Went in another direction, therefore the sale. Good looking covers, really different, comtemporary and trendy. PM me if interested
